I had a slight sprain of my right ankle eight months ago, and started square dancing without getting well, resulting in a contusion of the end of the fibula of my right ankle.

Most people are indifferent to the treatment of non-fracture soft tissue and ligament injuries, and generally ignore them if there is no fracture. After the acute phase of pain, the affected limb will start to bear weight gradually, so that the soft tissues and ligaments do not get good rest and repair. Soft tissue and ligament injuries need about three weeks to repair, if there is no brake, early activities, will leave the affected joint chronic pain, delayed, habitual re-injury results, so, ligament and soft tissue injuries, it is best to plaster fixed for three weeks, to ensure that ligaments and soft tissues have sufficient time to repair, to prevent the emergence of complications. If multiple injuries will become chronic strain, pain prolonged, there is no good treatment, you can physical therapy, pay attention to rest, I wish you a speedy recovery, if the ankle joint develops into a traumatic arthritis the heaviest state does not rule out the need for surgical ankle fusion in order to improve joint stability and relieve pain.
